Abstract
A system for verifying a repair of a plasma torch can include a tool configured to grip, a rotational speed sensor, a memory, and a processor. The tool configured to grip can be configured to hold the plasma torch. The rotational speed sensor can be configured to measure a rotational speed of the plasma torch. The memory can be configured to store a measurement of the rotational speed. The processor can be configured to: (1) determine a result and (2) produce a signal indicative of the result. The result can be of a comparison between the measurement of the rotational speed and a desired range of measurements of the rotational speed.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a tool configured to grip configured to hold a plasma torch;
- a rotational speed sensor configured to measure a rotational speed of the plasma torch;
- a memory configured to store a measurement of the rotational speed;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine a first result, the first result being of a comparison between the measurement of the rotational speed and a desired range of measurements of the rotational speed;
- and
- produce a signal indicative of the first result.
A controller, comprising:
- a port configured to receive, from a rotational speed sensor, a measurement of a rotational speed of a plasma torch;
- a memory configured to store the measurement of the rotational speed;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine a result, the result being of a comparison between the measurement of the rotational speed and a desired range of measurements of the rotational speed;
- and
- produce a signal indicative of the result.
A method, comprising:
- holding, by a tool configured to grip, a plasma torch;
- measuring, by a rotational speed sensor, a rotational speed of the plasma torch;
- storing, in a memory, a measurement of the rotational speed;
- determining, by a processor, a result, the result being of a comparison between the measurement of the rotational speed and a desired range of measurements of the rotational speed;
- and
- producing, by the processor, a signal indicative of the result.
